Xiao Jianzhong Tang is generally not indicated for the treatment of wasting.
Xiao Jianzhong Tang is composed of Bai Shao (白芍), Gui Zhi (桂枝), Ginger (生姜) and Zao Zao (大枣). Xiao Jianzhong Tang is generally not indicated for the treatment of emaciation, and this formula is mainly used for treating dampness and coldness in the middle Jiao (Spleen and Stomach), as well as Liver-Spleen disharmony (inability of the liver and spleen to work in harmony).
Xiao Jian Zhong Tang works by warming the middle Jiao, tonifying the deficiency, harmonizing the li and easing the urgency (harmonizing the middle Jiao and relieving pain), and improving symptoms such as shen xia xia xia (mental exhaustion and physical weakness), xue xia xia (restlessness caused by deficiency heat in the body), and a lack of color in the face.
Adverse effects of Xiao Jian Zhong Tang are not known at this time. Note that it is contraindicated for those with stomach pain, yin deficiency and fire exuberance (deficiency of yin essence in the body and the appearance of hyperactive deficiency fire), and is also not suitable for those with vomiting or middle-heat fullness. Note that if used with other drugs, there may be interactions, you need to consult your physician.
Wasting is a symptom of the disease, not the name of the disease, if wasting is obvious in a short period of time, one should go to the hospital for consultation. Xiao Jian Zhong Tang should be used after diagnosis by a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and should not be used on its own.
